In a sunny November Sunday Lauris received email from Santa with a map. Before that I saw this idea at Evelīna’s blog “Mammas smaids” (http://mammassmaids.net/2012/11/06/dargumu-meklesana/), where she and her kids went for Treasure Hunt. I immediately realized that kind of activity will be interesting for my 4 years old as well. Last week Lauris was spoken about Santa and his coming at Christmas so much that I go for it and made him a hunt with real route map www.maps.google.co.uk and the e-mail from Santa.

From Santa’s letter we together understood that Lauris has to take his camera and go on the route to find a special gift. On the way he has to take the pictures as proof of the well done task. Lauris become more and more fascinated with this mysterious task. Specially, he loves everything about treasures, maps, travel, pirates, and photography. And the huge plus, witch I didn’t plan before, was discussions all the way long about different type of junctions, how to hold camera, and what is the best way to take good pictures.
